Manufacture Francaise d'Armes & Cycles de St. Etienne Gaulois No. 2 Palm Squeezer Pistol with Factory Picture Box

This palm pistol was manufactured in St. Etienne in the 1890s to approximately 1912. It features a post front sight, standard markings, etched designs on the sides of the frame, serrated front panel, checkered plunger pad, and three switch safety. It comes with a factory picture box.

ConditionExcellent. The pistol retains 97% plus of the original blue finish and nearly all of the case colors with some minor handling and cycling marks throughout. The pad is very fine with some slight imperfections in the checkering. The markings and etching are crisp. The box is very good with sections absent and torn but the label is intact and very clear.
